You’ll be sorely missed. Thanks for so many great articles, and of course setting up what I would consider the highlight of my Kinja commenting history. Best of luck at How-to Geek. Looks like I have a new feed to follow.

Completely unrelated, but thanks for brining to my attention the existence of a lego WALL-E kit.

I do this constantly, but I’m not convinced it actually helps you “break out of your shell.” I find that I tend to use it as a crutch, and it makes me even less capable of functioning in social situations without an outgoing friend around.

You can add drowning to this list.

Sorry, but I’m not impressed by something that takes an inhumane method of killing pests and makes it more torturous.

No, I think he means -a psychopath.

Loopholes aren’t always unethical, either. Many consider just taking advantage of tax credits to be using a loophole, but they’re not illegal...

I haven’t used Win10 yet so I can’t really comment on how good it is, but I would like to point out that a relatively high adoption rate is easy to obtain when you’re giving the OS away.

You had me until the microtransactions.

I specifically responded that way because of your complaint. It also happens to perfectly summarize my opinion of the “this is better because there’s no profanity” attitude.

I think that’s because by the time you’ve reached the point of being a practicing scientist (probably by the time you reach grad school even) you’ve learned to naturally follow a process similar to “the scientific method” unconsciously. You don’t talk about it because it’s as natural to you as breathing air. To…

YES PLEASE!!!

I love the Golden Delicious/Granny Smith mix for pies. Honestly I’d probably go with nothing but Granny Smith, but not everyone has the same obsession with insanely tart apples that I do, so I throw in some goldens to balance things out a bit.

What a great way to avoid all responsibility for your dickish behavior. How about this one: “Don’t blame me for killing your family when I was driving drunk, it’s the cops fault for not enforcing DUI laws well enough.”

No, you don’t. Not only is it a case of “two wrongs don’t make a right,” you’re fucking over your fellow passengers with your oversized “carry-on,” when it’s the airline who fucked you over with the undersized seats.
